A substantial part of the present paper is a review of results obtained by a variety of authors concerning the changes which occur when a selfadjoint operator in Hilbert space is subjected to perturbations of certain types. Almost all of the theorems to which we refer were obtained in relatively special situations and their proofs were correspondingly difficult. The machinery of the present paper makes such theorems at once more general and more transparent. We find that three apparently different situations are quite equivalent when it is required to compare the spectra of operators in a given family, namely 1) the family of operators obtained from a selfadjoint H, by adding a multiple of a projection of onedimensional range Ht= H,,+ tP, 2) the family of operators obtained by taking all selfadjoint extensions of a symmetric operator with deficiency indices (1, 1), and 3) the family of selfadjoint extensions associated with a given limit-point Sturm-Liouville problem. Our machinery enables us to give the most general model of a symmetric operator with deficiency indices (1, 1) and its family of selfadjoint extensions. In particular, the analytic function m (z) which is the limit point in the Weyl theory of singular Sturm-Liouville operators admits an obvious generalization to all symmetric operators with deficiency indices (1, 1). The references at the end of the paper form an adequate introduction to the literature. The author has also benefited from convemafiohs with N. Aronszajn, M. Schreiber and P. Rejto.
